As a manufacturer, you want to check and validate the biobased origin of your products.
What is a biobased product?
A biobased product is a product made from renewable raw materials of biological origin, i.e. derived from biomass. Biomass can include plants, algae, agricultural waste, forestry residues and other organic matter. Biobased products differ from conventional products derived from petroleum or other fossil resources.
What are the advantages of using biobased products?
The main advantages of using biobased materials are, firstly, that they reduce the carbon footprint by reducing dependence on fossil fuels, thereby cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Secondly, the biodegradability of products. Many biobased products are biodegradable, which means that they can decompose naturally, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
Why verify and validate the biobased origin of a product?
Verifying and validating the biobased origin of a product plays a crucial role in your company’s transparency and credibility. By certifying that your products are made from renewable raw materials, you are responding to growing consumer demand for products that are more respectful of the environment.
This verification also enables you to comply with current regulations and anticipate future ones. Biobased labels or certifications can offer a significant competitive advantage by demonstrating a commitment to the environment, enabling manufacturers to stand out in the marketplace. At the FILAB laboratory, we can support you in this process.
The FILAB laboratory can help you carry out analyses to verify and validate the biobased origin of your products.
Why choose FILAB?
The FILAB laboratory has the experience and specific analytical equipment to support manufacturers in all sectors in the analysis, verification and validation of the biobased origin of their products. FILAB supports you in the physico-chemical characterisation of bio-based materials(bio-based plastics, paper and cardboard, solvents, lubricants and other industrial chemicals, etc.). ).
FILAB offers you a combination of analytical techniques to analyse a biobased product by studying its properties and chemical composition.
